A female leader in the church at Philippi whose disagreement with Syntyche concerned Paul (Philippians 4:2-3 ). The name Euodia means either prosperous journey or pleasant fragrance. Euodia and Syntyche were perhaps deacons or else hostesses of house churches that met in their respective homes. Paul commended these women as two who struggled by his side for the spread of the gospel in a way comparable to Clement and other church leaders.
